Discussion Do you lie to your therapist?

[rainatthebusstop]

Actually, telling certain things to therapists CAN get you committed. Therapists are legally mandated to turn you in, even if they don't want to, if you tell them things that they perceive as being threats to your life or the lives of others. So, be careful what you say to them. Whatever freedoms you have can be taken away with the slip of the lip.

I know. I just forgot a "doesn't seem all that helpful to me" there at the end

Yes, but every therapist isn't genuine. No one truly cares about you. Which is why I hate them. Same with psychiatrists. They do not help you in any way, all they do is medicate you. I took meds but they are useless, they don't help at all, my diagnosis is not treated with meds, it is treated with psychotherapy, which I also did and it did not help at all. Help is inexistent for me I believe, and I do not seek it anymore either.
I do not want to become a fat pig because of an antipsychotic and besides that, they also damage your organs badly if taken long-term.

99% No. She know I'm even watching SaSu but I've not told her that I am seriously falling love with her and want to spend the rest of life with her if I decide not to ctb.

I tell my psychiatrist I don't want to be here anymore but deny any active plans so they don't lock me up. Most of it falls on deaf ears though and they don't take me seriously despite my previous OD.

I lie all the time. Nothing they say or do will help me so what's the point in telling them anyways. I've been seeing mental health professionals for nearly 5 years now. Most of the time they don't know I'm lying, apart from one of them, who I no longer see though. She'd ask so many questions and I'd get in trouble for saying 'I don't know' to every one of them lol. But let's be real they're probably sick of hearing the same miserable shit all the time anyways. They ask me how I am, my answer is always 'fine'.

no but i often avoid telling stuff

 

[peeveecee]

she knows that i'm suicidal but hasn't asked me about my plans and i don't intend on telling her. i try to tell the truth most of the time tho.

 

[dissociation]

I always lie to my therapist about my CTB plans.

I always lie to my therapist about my CTB plans.

From what I have been hearing, this is a wise choice. Apparently, mental health professionals are required to take action that involves law enforcement and being committed to a mental health facility, thus removing any ability to make decisions for ourselves.
